An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/2" [62 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) Melody Cruise, the 1933 Mark Sandrich romantic ocean cruise liner musical ("Shimmy shaking ships... gliding gulls.. syncopating stars... singing, swaying sirens... moonlight melodies... tantalizing tunes... langorous lovers... in a modern symphony of love and laughs!"; about a millionaire on a cruise, and he romances all the women on the ship, and he has an employee who keeps the girls from suing him!) starring Charlie Ruggles, Phil Harris (the famous bandleader), Greta Nissen, Helen Mack, Marjorie Gateson, June Brewster, Shirley Chambers, Florence Roberts, and Chick Chandler NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster is somewhat fragile and there is a circular tear in the left of the top edge and some smaller tears and areas of paper loss around the edges (some repaired with pieces of conservation tape from the back). There are some tiny stains in the blue background at upper left and right and there is some discoloration around the edges of the poster. This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the discoloration (which is pretty minor and mostly in background or border areas) can easily be removed through chemical means, after which the poster will look fantastic (although I think most collectors could happily display this great poster on their wall just as it is).
